I have a test server running XenServer 6.5, which precisily is the version 6.5.0-90233c. By now I have two linux (Debian and Ubuntu) VMs smoothly running.
I have attached a 1TB USB drive in which I successfuly set the whole disk as a storage repository (SR).
What I want is to create virtual disk images to be attached to the VMs. My problem begun when I tried to create a virtual disk image (VDI). It doesn't matter the size of the VDI I try to create, it just fails.
(Command issued in order to create the VDI):
xe vdi-create sr-uuid=[my SR's UUID] name-label="Virtual Disk 01 USB SR" type=user virtual-size=15GiB
Error message returned:
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_78
Error parameters: VDI Creation failed [opt=error 22]
I've tried to recreate the Storage Repository with its type set to EXT3, which by default was LVM, but it doesn't matter, it fails either way.
Looking further into /var/log/SMlog, when it fails, it produces the following:

Any ideas about what I could possibly be missing?
